WAECHTER ARCHITECTURE WINS AT NORTHWEST & PACIFIC REGION AWARDS
We're pleased to share two of our projects won Merit Awards at the 2020 AIA Northwest & Pacific Region Awards! A big thank you to our jurors Kai-Uwe Bergmann, Andrea Love, and Julie Snow for the recognition of our work.
Blu Dot Showroom - Merit Award
The juror's notes on the project:
"We appreciated the undulating wall that makes its way through the showroom...It was an element that really unified the space and was able to do a lot of things from being a display case, to a wall, to a railing as it works its way around the showroom. We thought this was a very smart, very clever way to approach the design."
Owner: Blu Dot
Contractor: R&H Construction
Structural + Civil Engineer: KPFF
Interior Woodwork: Uncommon Cabinetry
Interior Flooring: DeBenedetto's Commercial Flooring
Origami - Merit Award
The juror's notes on the project:
"We thought this was a really nice multi-family project. It did a great job of taking a lot of massing and putting it in a small-scale residential context. We appreciate the way they tried to do that without just resorting to color which is a common strategy that's used...It was very sophisticated and well thought out."
